Chapter 1389
Angeline said emotionally, "We’re here for you, Sis Shirley. We’ll be your strongest backing."
Shirley squeezed Angeline''s hand and said, "I’m really grateful to have you by my side, Sis. You’re
just like a tree, and I''m like a bird perching on your trunk. You make me feel safe and secure.
"You, however, are always thinking only of us, silly. Has it never crossed your mind that with my
current health condition, this child will be a burden to you if I die one day?
"As for me, I don’t want to see you going against Doomsday because of this child. I don’t want to
see the peaceful life that you have strived so hard to get plunge into yet another bloody war.
Therefore, if he wishes to, then I will give the child to him."
Angeline was struck dumb.
How cruel was it to separate a mother and her child?
Angeline did not want Sis Shirley to experience the same tragedy she experienced, hence after
contemting for a very long time, Angeline suddenly asked Sis Shirley in a solemn tone, "Are you
willing to ept him, Sis Shirley?”
A touch of mncholy emerged on Shirley''s face. "A
man like him has high aspirations andes from a well-off family. I''ve always looked up to him but
have never dared to be too hopeful about being with him."
Angeline said, "Sis Shirley, he''s very knowledgeable and affectionate. He''ll make a great partner, I
must say. If the two of you can be together, then your child will grow up in a warm home. Would you
like to be brave for once and give it a try for the sake of you and your child?"

Shirley was in a daze.
She recalled her first meeting with Cole. At the time, she was carrying the unconscious Angeline on
her back, staggering and stumbling countless times along the way. In the end, she fell into a
quagmire but could not climb out of it no matter how hard she tried.
She was very scared at the time, afraid that Angeline would be hurt because of her ipetence.
Fortunately, Cole appeared. Like a streak of light, he picked Angeline up from her back. He had a
crush on Angeline, so it was only natural that he would help her, but what she did not expect was
that he also reached out to her and pulled her out of the quagmire.
Cole was probably unaware that his kind gesture had given Shirley hope when she was in despair
at the time, and his shadows were etched in Shirley''s heart ever since.
Even after hearing the news that he had massacred the entire Ares family, she still refused to
believe that he was a heinous criminal.
Shirley''s gaze was decisive as she said, "I don''t want m y child to live a homeless life like me. Little
Angeline, a s long as there''s hope to give the child a better future, then I, as the baby''s mother, am
willing to toughen up, be brave, and fight for his sake."
Angeline said, "Since that''s what you want, Sis Shirley, I''ll do everything I can to help you and your
child fight for a splendid future."
Feeling grateful, Shirley held Angeline’s hand and said, "I''m sorry for making you worry again, Little
Angeline."
Jenson and Baby Robbie, who had been eavesdropping for a very long time, realized that it was not
Mommy who was pregnant but Aunty Shirley!
This news left the mischievous Baby Robbie very much astounded. He tugged at Jenson''s sleeve
secretly and whispered, "Who does the child in Aunty Shirley''s belly belong to?"
Jenson sighed and replied, "Cole''s."
Baby Robbie suddenly clenched his fists and growled. "I''ll kill him."
Jenson nced speechlessly at him and warned him gravely, "He''ll soon be our uncle. If you
kill him, Mommy will be the first toe after you."
Baby Robbie pouted. "That womanizer is lucky he got away with it."
When Angeline and the group returned home, Angeline announced a piece of shocking news to
everyone, "We''re leaving for Mount Pearl again."
Zayne spat out the tea he had just drunk. "Mount Pearl? No way? Mount Pearl is so cold, the road
condition so treacherous, and most importantly, the guys there aren''t people we can offend. Haven''t
you learned anything after what we''ve been through?"
Jay nced at Angeline and Shirley with a meaningful nce. Both girls looked at a loss. Angeline
might sound firm and decisive about going t o Mount Pearl, but her hands were folded in front of her
lower abdomen where her fingers were tapping uneasily. It betrayed and revealed her anxious
emotions at the moment.
Jay disliked Mount Pearl even more than Zayne because Cole was there casting covetous eyes on
his wife.
However, Angeline would not have impulsively made such a decision.
What else could he do other than to support her?
